Story:
During the Warring States period, the eloquent strategist Su Qin visited King Xuan of Qi to advocate for an alliance against the Qin state. He argued,
'The city of Linzi has 70,000 households. If each household can provide three men for the army, the city would be incredibly prosperous. On its bustling streets, people are so numerous that when they raise their sleeves, it's like a vast canopy, and the sweat they wipe off drips like rain. With such formidable strength, how could we ever consider submitting to the Qin state?'
